I like 2. Not sure if you used on or off camera flash or if you used a modifier. Lighting off camera from the left may have pushed her shadow out of the frame. Then too it may still have added shadows from the braided metal lines. Also, light quality could be a little softer. Might consider heal brushing the small area on her left knee to take out the flash flare. Really like how you positioned her against the background.

I'd like to see what 1 would look like with a little more contrast, but contrast is your specialty so you must have processed this way to get the look you wanted.

Thanks peeps, 3 is one of her favorite images, I really like that one as well. Yeah, off cam bare flash on 2 and 3, shadow bothered me a bit on 2, but it's alright. Processed 1 to fit the mood; grey, cloudy and cold, but we worked it out.

Osai, I'm curious why to avoid overcast skies? It is because it's just so bright and white, when compared to the subject?

Same here ... #3. For the reasosn mentioned above ... pose, lines, lines of the building

I maybe would have moved her a little bit forward, in order to get her head between the two pillars in the back ( or maybe myselve, in order to maintain her distance from the white line on the ground).

And might consider, when using this for promotion ... whatever, to remove that dark grey pole in the left. To get an overall pale background, in contrast with the model. ( just an idea)
